Timothy Tyler Childers (/tʃɪldərz/ CHILL-dərz; born June 21, 1991) is an American country singer and songwriter.

He subsequently received Grammy Award nominations for his albums Long Violent History (2020) and Rustin' in the Rain (2023) and the singles "All Your'n" (2019) and "In Your Love" (2023), the latter of which was his first top 10 hit on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.

[14] The two EPs were later released as one recording called Live on Red Barn Radio I & II after the success of his album Purgatory; they reached No.

[28] On September 18, 2020, Childers released Long Violent History,[29] an album consisting mainly of traditional fiddle tracks.

He released a video message to accompany the song; in it he discussed his intention for the album in general and the title track in particular, calling for empathy above all else.

The accompanying music video for the single was written by Silas House and depicts a relationship between two gay coal miners in the 1950s.

Childers was announced as one of the headliners in the 2024 Bourbon & Beyond festival in his home state, taking place in Louisville in September.

Rebecca Bengal, writing for The Guardian, described Childers' songs as a "counternarrative to the outsiders who seek to perpetuate stereotypes of backwardness and poverty.

"[36] He emphasizes lyrical content in songs, comparing the songwriting process to telling short stories about past relationships and his youth.

[40] While not explicitly affiliated with any political party, Tyler Childers expressed support for coal miners' rights as well as same-sex marriage, in the music video of his 2023 song "In Your Love".

[41] He supported Charles Booker's campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2022[42] and sang at the second inauguration of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.

[43] Childers has described himself in 2020 as a "recovering alcoholic" who had "drunk and drugged himself around the world playing music for the better part of eleven years."

"[44] During a New Year's Eve performance in Lexington in 2023, Childers referenced drinking his last beer a day before he and Sturgill Simpson played a show at Rupp Arena[45] on February 28, 2020.
